Catastrophe-2

Catching Cicada

Thank you for the support. I love reading all of your comments. Enjoy this update.

Barry's POV

I quickly speed in front of Iris with the contract she asked me to get for her. "And it says that animal attacks do not fall under, Acts of God, and that includes gorillas. The Citizen looks forward to your statement. Thanks, Bare."

"Anytime Iris."

"I can't believe you and Anna have already been married a whole year."

"I know it's crazy to think a whole year has passed."

"Well I know she looked gorgeous at the vow renewals."

"That she did. And thanks for all the help. Things have been so tense between Anna and me lately that...I thought this was a perfect way to smooth things over."

"Why has it been tense? Is it Cicada?"

"No, it's Nora."

"I thought they got over their issues."

"It's...Anna doesn't trust Nora's intentions for being here."

"Didn't she say she came back to help save you two from your fates in the future?"

"Yes, and Anna is believing there is something Nora is hiding."

"Do you believe that too?" I let out a big sigh.

"I don't know what to believe. I love having her here and...we're almost done catching Cicada. Which means she'll go back to the future and..." I look to the ground. "

"Barry." Iris calls out my name. "What's really bothering you?"

"I...I know I've been selfish having Nora here. I should have sent her back to the future the moment she told us who she was but...I know my fate, Iris. I know I won't be there to see her grow up and...everything we've been through. I feel like I deserve to be a little selfish. I want to know my daughter."

"And Anna doesn't feel the same way?"

"She's fearful of the damage Nora is causing. She loves Nora. More than I've seen her love anyone and...but Anna feels so guilty when she's happy. She believes she doesn't deserve to ever feel happy. Nora being here is a gift and I want to enjoy it."

"Anna will come around," Iris reassures me.

"I hope so." I mutter.

"Are you ready to do this thing now?" Iris asks and I smile just thinking about it.

"Hell yeah, we just got to find Nora. It's her big day after all. You don't think she's too busy, do you?" We head into the lab finding Nora ordering everyone around.

"Okay, people, think!" We hear Nora's voice. "We haven't seen Cicada since the rooftop fight, which means the only way to track him down is to figure out who his next meta-human target's gonna be." Caitlin gives me a look for help while Sherloque is banging his head on the nearby board. "Have we checked every bank robbery, every lab break-in?"

"Yes, yes! We have looked at all of that, all right?" Sherloque answers. "And all of the criminals that are in custody are simply mere mortals."

"And you can stop talking to us like we're amateurs. This is not the first villain we've searched for." Damian reminds Nora.

"What about the ones on the street?" Nora asks.

"Frost says that no new metas have shown up since Norvock went into WITSEC." Caitlin explains.

"Are the satellites tracking for dark matter or meta-gene bursts or Element X?" Nora asks.

"YES!" Sherloque, Cisco, and Damian answer her.
